Chapter 142 - 142 (2/2)

”Ryo, you should wait. Kakuzu is by no means a weakling, and the Yonbi itself is sure to be familiar with you. Although the new Jinchuriki is not perfect yet, he should not be underestimated.”

Minato and Ryo's thoughts coincided. These two are not easy to deal with, and to beat them, they needed to play smart.

”Ryo, one more thing. This person, Kakuzu, is extraordinary. I have already crushed through his heart, and he's still alive!” Minato shared the information he had with Ryo.

Ryo pretended to contemplate, then answered: ”Ni-san, perhaps his heart is on the right side! We'll attack his right side or his head for a while, and we should be fine!”

”Well, that should be the only possibility. Next, I'll create opportunities for you. Use your speed to finish Kakuzu, and then, we'll deal with the Yonbi.”

”Alright, I understand!”

After discussing their plan, Minato's counterattack began.

As he was forced to teleport once again, Minato went to a new mark that he had made nearby, and he disappeared from his opponents' eyes.

Both Kakuzu and the Yonbi Jinchuriki were shocked, and they began to trace him. It was at this time that Minato reappeared in a place that they had never imagined.

Behind the Yonbi, Minato's right condensed an Oodama Rasengan, and he directly hit the Yonbi Jinchuriki's body.

Even with the Lava Release Chakra Mode and the Yonbi's Chakra protection, the Jinchuriki was injured.

Red Biju Chakra emerged from within his body, healing the wound. The constant erosion created by the Rasengan forced the Biju Chakra to constantly heal the wound, making the Jinchuriki start to lose control.

As Minato was preparing for a bigger attack, Kakuzu came from the side. Minato already knew that he was coming, but he faked being caught up in the moment, not being able to see the approaching threat.

Kakuzu thought that he was free to move in, and he directly went for an all out Lightning Jutsu aimed at Minato.

As for the Jinchuriki's life, that didn't matter one bit to Kakuzu.

After all, all he had to do was to kill Minato, then take his money and leave.

”Ryo, Now!” As soon as Kakuzu launched his Lightning Ninjustu, Minato teleported to where Ryo was at.

Ryo, who was hiding, had made his full preparations. He flickered behind Kakuzu, and aimed his Ice Lightning Blade to the back of his neck.

Ryo knew all about Kakuzu secret. If he was to aim to the right, he might only be able to destroy one heart. If he directly went for the head, he might get a chance to kill.

Nevertheless, he was slashed, and massive amounts of Lightning Chakra carrying Natural energy poured into his body, while its surface was covered in frost.

It didn't take long before his body got ravaged by the violent Lightning Chakra.

Ryo didn't hesitate, and immediately throwing second knife at Kakuzu, but that hit the ground. The damaged Kakuzu was still able to make a clone and flicker away.

His current location had no Ice Scalpel, and no Flying Thunder God Kunai.

He looked back at Ryo with his eyes full of hatred, turned around a left.

Ryo wanted to chase him, but he was stopped by Minato. The Yonbi Jinchuriki was still there, and he was the one posing the bigger threat to Konoha's Ninjas.
